Hi Jasper, God bless ur sweet soul. I joined Nairaland today because of Cucumber and watermelon and found ur thread so educative. please u re doing a great job here. pls as regard cucumber, it means one can plant round the year since there is constant supply of water for irrigation. or is there planting season?
Re: Modern Cucumber Farming. My 1 Million Naira Experience *with Pictures* by jasper7(m): 1:08am On Jan 04, 2015
Doctor said I need rest. but how can I sleep when there's a lot to be done. I need people to make it through agriculture. I need to be involved in people's success. This year I have decided to do a lot of travelling and visiting of people's farms. help them set-up and reach their goals. brace up! cos if you are planting, I might be visiting you.

I thought about this a lot during the tail end of last year. why do I leave my well paying farms and start visiting people and helping them set up. what do I stand to gain? Not much, but I believe in having a strong network of farmers who grow similar crops, I believe that is the key to marketing. And besides I need land. I want to expand. and I am getting good offers for land in the west. cheesy.

This my sickness and my many travels towards the end of last year showed me that I don't necessarily need to be on ground for my farm here to function. I have able hands, and partners who can keep it ticking here. while I explore other locations.

Trust me, a lot will happen in agriculture this 2015 and a select few will gain from my enthusiasm. while I gain also from their knowledge and ideas. watch this space, great things might soon start happening here

thanks, am happy I could be of assistance.
you see what people fail to understand is that planting season is determined majorly by climatic factors. cucumber doesn't have season, once irrigation is available

I dont know how I'll draw such quotation for you o. honestly. because it cannot be near accurate, if I don't consider the current state of the land, the cost of labour in ur area and general location of the land matters too.

I don't know yet. I just wanted to have an idea.
Re: Modern Cucumber Farming. My 1 Million Naira Experience *with Pictures* by Kalusam(m): 9:54pm On Jan 04, 2015
Germination rate was like about 70% on first bed(Mulched with composted poultry droppings) and 30-40% on the second and third beds with none!

You HAVE TO heed the doc's advice.

It would give you better strength in the long run to achieve more of those your (selfless) goals.

I don't mind to have the seeds too, in Lagos

...and you'd do well to contact the Thai coy on our behalf so we can have their contact details ASAP

thanks again and get strong, fast.
